THE New York Ereniag Post, which re-

Of thought be known no more among the
children Of the land. So long as the news
paper is permitted to eontaminate the
household that the newspaper managers
purse may fatten upon the greed Of 4
vicious taste, society prostitutes itself to
private cupidity. We regret to find the
Oregoniaa apologizing for such vicious
publications as the reports OF the Campbell
case. 1t declares it did not publish the
matter because 1t took delight in it, but in
order to render its work complete within
Its sphere. That is simply begging the
question. II assumes that the complete
newspaper must contain scurrilous recitals
as well as decent ones. Now, in truth, the
trial Of the Campbell case was not news,
not public property, not legitimately cur
rent news, and not by reason of the aristo-
cratic character of the parties to it, any
more important than similar noxious de-
velopments in a case between chimney
sweep and strumpet. But" the OregO-
aian replies, " the latter the people do not
want, and no good can come Of such publ
cation" But what evidence has our con-
temporary of the demand in one case, or
the non-demand in the other? Either
would be food for deprayed tastes. That
the Campbells are of the aristocracy of
England, does not make their crimes saw
full examples But the report revealed
the hollowness of an aristocracy's preten-
sions," exclaims the Portland paper. Sup
pose it did /? and again, What of it? Can
that compensate for the injury such read
ing does to the young? Must such exposure
be made at the expense of the purity Of
mind Of the maiders of the land? Must
American homes be whelmed in printed
filth, that the rottenness of an English
aristocrat's household may be exposed =?
And, by the way, who is to judge of the
degree of prominence of the parties that
justifies publicity? The truth is, the
papers which published the Campbell re-
ports were put upon the defensive from
the outset, and in such case, to defend is
to confess the wrong.

in single hands is but little known, for, as
a rule, it is nearly all employed in the con-
servation of great industries, and the de-
velopment of the country. There is too
little kept in view the fact that private
large fortunes are in the main used in
America for general public employment or
public education. Not all, by any means,
of the great benefactions of wealth are
made widely public, millions being given
to aid mechanics, science, art and popular
education and public and private charities
of which we hear~ery little through ordi-
nrry news channels.

Whatever ill-will many people har-
Dor against tramps, it should be tenn
pered with reason at this time of the
year. Their condition is pitiable
enough. Many of them lay around
the railroad fires, half frozen and half
starved. They come in from a stolen
ride on Il freight, without sufficient
food or clothing, and their sufferings
may we'll be imagined. Railroaders, as
rule, feel humanely towards them.
Not unfrequently you here people
say, when tranps ask for a bite and
the table is well filled: 81 have moth
ing for you; go arm your living as
we must too" We heard a monthly
communicate cast the reproach with
stall full of stale meat, and choice por-
tions hung away for charity's upper
ten, and we have been a wreck of
skepticism ever since. Just now in
the rigor of the season, we plead for
the hungry and frozen tramp and ask
his enemies to relent, for what ye do
unto the least Of My brethren you do
unto Me and it is better to do it IN
reality than to weep for joy over a
newborn King, Who tramped from
the manger to Calvary for worse peo-
pie than the modern tramp, as we'll
as for better people than we.
